PHILLIPS HEAD is a uniquely entertaining original rock band based in upstate NY. The alternative power act has steadilly played clubs and events in the Northeast and beyond since forming in 1994. The band is well known for their HIGH-ENERGY live show, catchy songs, and loyal fan base. With their explosive sound and intensive schedule, Phillips Head has proven to be a major contributor to the region's original music scene. To date, the band has released two full-length albums, an acoustic EP, and a live recording from the legendary CBGB. Phillips Head is currently working on their third full-length release, and actively touring New York and the surrounding states.
Why this name?
A former member got hit in the head with a box of screwdrivers. Unfortunately, we lost him. But we kept the name!
Do you play live?
Phillips Head performs regularly in the Northeast and surrounding states.
How, do you think, does the internet (or mp3) change the music industry?
Better for unsigned bands, not so good for major labels.
Would you sign a record contract with a major label?
Sure, give me a pen.
Band History:
Phillips Head is celebrating 11 years this year!
Your influences?
The music is a powerhouse blend of pop, punk, and rock, driven by forceful guitar chords, punchy bass lines, and rock-solid rhythms. The songs cover the broad (that's a pun) spectrum of love, lust, and beer with a perfect combination of amusingly witty lyrics, memorable hooks, and melodic vocals. Influences/Similar Artists include The Ramones, The Replacements, Material Issue, Social Distortion, Elvis Costello, Violent Femmes, The Kinks, Matthew Sweet, and The Clash. The songs are powerful, catchy, fast, and FUN.
